WCDMA RAN DC-HSDPA

2 Overview

2 Overview
Similar to Long Term Evolution (LTE), the HSPA technology is also influenced by the multi-carrier aggregations. The performance and throughputs of HSPA can be improved by using more bandwidth provided by multi-carrier. The throughputs of end users thus can be double or more as compared to single carrier HSPA. In releases earlier than Release 8, only a single carrier can be used for the HSDPA transmission of a UE. This is called single carrier HSDPA (SC-HSDPA) in this document. The first phase of Multi-Carrier HSPA (MC-HSPA) based on 3GPP R8 Technical Specifications (TSs) uses two consecutive carriers in the downlink to transmit data for one subscriber and named as Dual Carrier HSDPA (DC-HSDPA). The 3GPP R9 and beyond TSs specify the use of more than two carriers for a single subscriber without the restrictions on the use of same frequency band. The following figure shows the 3GPP evolution of MC-HSDPA. Figure 2-1 Overview of MC-HSDPA

The requirements of DC-HSDPA are listed in the following table. Table 2-1 Requirements of the DC-HSDPA Item CN RNC Requirement The CN needs to support the downlink peak rate of 42 Mbit/s provided by downlink DC-HSDPA with 64QAM. The RNC needs to support downlink enhanced L2. The RNC provides the radio bearer scheme for DC-HSDPA. NodeB UE DC-HSDPA requires NodeB to support MAC-ehs. A single MAC-ehs entity supports HS-DSCH transmission in more than one cell served by the same Node-B (FDD only). The UE can monitor a maximum of six HS-SCCHs in the two cells of DC-HSDPA. In each cell, the UE can monitor a maximum of three HS-SCCHs at the same time. In 3GPP Release 8, HS-DSCH categories 21, 22, 23, and 24 of the UE are added to support DC-HSDPA. In later 3GPP release, more HS-DSCH categories may support DC-HSDPA.

3 Basic Principle

3 Basic Principle
3.1 Overview
DC-HSDPA allows a UE to set up HSDPA connections with two inter-frequency synchronous cells that have the same coverage. In the downlink, the UE can receive different data through HS-DSCHs from the two cells simultaneously. In the uplink, however, the UE sends data only through its primary cell. Figure 3-1 DC-HSDPA principle

The two cells (primary cell and secondary cell) of DC-HSDPA follow the following restrictions: The two cells belong to the same sector of a NodeB and are inter-frequency same-coverage cells. The two cells is in the same downlink resource group of a NodeB. The two cells operate on adjacent carriers with a frequency spacing less than or eaqual to 5 MHz in the same frequency band. The two cells have the same timing (Tcell). The two cells support HSDPA and enhanced L2. The two cells belong to the same operator. The dual cell transmission only applies to HSDPA physical channels. The uplink of DC-HSDPA UE is in only the primary cell but not in the secondary cell. DC-HSDPA improves the throughput and QoS of end users in the whole cell area even on the cell edges. Theoretically, DC-HSDPA with 64QAM can provide a peak rate of 42 Mbit/s in the downlink. This rate doubles the peak rate provided by only 64QAM.

3.2 Cell Configuration

DC-HSDPA cell group consists of two cells: primary cell and secondary cell. From the perspective of a UE, the two cells are as follows:

3 Basic Principle

WCDMA RAN DC-HSDPA

Primary cell (also called anchor cell) carries all the types of channel for a UE. Each UE has only one primary cell. Secondary cell (also called supplementary cell) carries only three types of downlink (DL) channel for a UE. Each UE has only one secondary cell. The three types of DL channel are as follows:
High-speed High-speed Primary

shared control channel (HS-SCCH) physical downlink shared channel (HS-PDSCH)

common pilot channel (P-CPICH)

Figure 3-2 shows the physical channels involved in DC-HSDPA for a UE. Figure 3-2 Cell Configuration from the perspective of a UE

From the perspective of the network, both the cells can work as primary cell and secondary cell. The two cells can be deployed equivalently with the same configuration, as shown in the following figure. Figure 3-3 Equivalent deployment of primary cell and secondary cell

In equivalent deployment of primary and secondary cells, the RNC selects the primary cell for UEs based on the load and radio bearer scheme. Both cells can work independently for non-DC-HSDPA UEs or legacy HSDPA UEs. Alternatively, the primary cell is configured with all channels whereas the secondary cell is configured with only HS-DSCH and P-CPICH. The secondary cell cannot work independently. This is called non-equivalent deployment. Non-equivalent deployment is not supported.

3.3 Channel Mapping

Overview
Figure 3-4 Channel mapping of DC-HSDPA

DC-HSDPA UE receives two HS-DSCH transport channels from two cells of the same NodeB. Each HS-DSCH is mapped to one HS-SCCH and several HS-PDSCH physical channels. The uplink DCH/E-DCH channels of DC-HSDPA are carried only on the primary cell. All dedicated physical control channels DPCCH and DPCH/F-DPCH in uplink and downlink are carried on the primary cell.

HS-SCCH
In releases earlier than 3GPP Release 8, a UE can monitor a maximum of four HS-SCCHs at the same time, according to 3GPP TS 25.331. In DC-HSDPA cell group, the HS-SCCHs on the primary cell are independent of those on the secondary cell. A UE can monitor a maximum of six HS-SCCHs at the same time. In each cell, the UE can monitor a maximum of three HS-SCCHs at the same time. There are three types of HS-SCCH, type 1 for common use, type 2 for HS-SCCH Less Operation, and type 3 for MIMO. DC-HSDPA uses only HS-SCCH type 1. DC-HSDPA with HS-SCCH Less Operation uses HS-SCCH type 2. HS-SCCH Less Operation applies only to the primary cell.

HS-DPCCH
The UE gives feedback on the CQIs and HARQ ACK/NACK about two cells on the HS-DPCCH channel to the primary cell. HS-DPCCH uses a new frame format that enables it to carry CQI and HARQ ACK/NACK information of the two cells in a TTI.

3.4 UE Categories
In 3GPP Release 8, HS-DSCH categories 21, 22, 23, and 24 of the UE are added to support DC-HSDPA, as listed in Table 3-1. This table is extracted from 3GPP TS 25.306.. In later 3GPP release, more HS-DSCH categories may support DC-HSDPA.

The requirements for the UEs of different HS-DSCH categories when DC-HSDPA is not configured are as follows: The UE of HS-DSCH category 21 needs to support at least one of HS-DSCH categories 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. The UE of HS-DSCH category 22 needs to support at least one of HS-DSCH categories 10, 14, 16, and 18. The UE of HS-DSCH category 23 needs to support at least one of HS-DSCH categories 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, and 20. The UE of HS-DSCH category 24 needs to support at least one of HS-DSCH categories 14, 18, and 20. The peak rate can reach 42.192 Mbit/s (= 2 x TB_Size/TTI = 2 x 42192/2) at the MAC layer, with the support of the CN. The DC-HSDPA UEs and MIMO UEs can co-exist in the same cell, but one UE cannot use MIMO and DC-HSDPA together.

3.5 NodeB MAC-ehs

DC-HSDPA requires NodeB to support MAC-ehs. A single MAC-ehs entity supports HS-DSCH transmission in more than one cell served by the same NodeB (FDD only). Queues of a DC-HSDPA UE are common for the two cells. Scheduler in NodeB arranges the data transmission of queues on the two cells. DC-HSDPA transmissions can be regarded as independent transmissions over two HS-DSCH channels. There will be separate HARQ entity per HS-DSCH channel, that is, one HARQ process per TTI for single carrier transmission and two HARQ processes per TTI for dual carrier transmission. MAC-ehs selects TFRC for the MAC-ehs PDUs of each cell independently based on the available resources of the cells and CQI reported by UE.

In a NodeB, two MAC-ehs PDUs can be scheduled at the same time. Figure 3-6 shows an example of traffic flow to a DC-HSDPA UE. Figure 3-6 Example of traffic flow to a DC-HSDPA UEs

3.6 Impact on Interfaces

To support DC-HSDPA, new Information Elements (IEs) are added to signaling messages. UEs and cells can report its capacity of DC-HSDPA to the RNC through the Iub and Uu interfaces. The RNC instructs cells to set up or reconfigure radio links with DC-HSDPA through the Iub interface. The RNC instructs UEs to set up or reconfigure radio bearers with DC-HSDPA through the Uu.

3 Basic Principle

WCDMA RAN DC-HSDPA

Impact on Iub
When a cell receives the Audit Request message or when a new cell is setup or a cell capability is changed, NodeB reports the cell capability to RNC in Audit Response message or Resource State Indication message When a cell supports DC-HSDPA, NodeB sets the Multi Cell Capability Info IE to Multi Cell Capable for the cell in Audit Response and send the message to RNC. If the cell is primary serving cell, all the possible secondary serving cell in the same sector must be listed in the Possible Secondary Cell List IE. When RNC instruct a cell to set up a radio link with DC-HSDPA, the information of the secondary serving cell is added to the Radio Link Setup procedure or Radio Link Addition procedure. The Additional HS Cell Information RL Setup IE is added to Radio Link Setup Request/Response/Failure messages and Radio Link Addition Request/Response/Failure messages to indicate the usage of DC-HSDPA and associated parameters.

Impact on Uu
In the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST, the Multi cell support IE is added to indicate the UE capability of supporting multiple cell. In the RRC Connection Setup Complete and UE Capability Information message, the Physical Channel Capability IE is extended to indicate the UE capability of DC-HSDPA. The Downlink secondary cell info FDD IE in the following signaling message indicates the usage of secondary serving cell and related parameters RRC CONNECTION SETUP ACTIVE SET UPDATE CELL UPDATE CONFIRM PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION RADIO BEARER RELEASE RADIO BEARER SETUP

4.1 Overview
This document describes only the functions that are different from those of SC-HSDPA. The functions described in this document are as follows: Radio Bearers State transition Mobility management Load control Scheduling For details about other associated functions, see the HSDPA Feature Parameter Description.

4.2 Radio Bearers

When downlink transport channel HS-DSCH is selected for streaming or BE services or combined service with streaming or BE, the DC-HSDPA may apply to them. When there is only a CS service, PS conversational service, IMS signaling, or SRB signaling, the DC-HSDPA technology is not used because of small traffic volume and low transmission delay. For details of radio bearers, see the HSDPA Feature Parameter Description. Before using DC-HSDPA for a service, you need to configure on RNC and NodeB respectively to enable the feature. In NodeB:
You

need to setup two cells to support DC-HSDPA. The two cells operate on adjacent carriers with a frequency spacing of 5 MHz or less than 5 MHz in the same frequency band. The two carriers are specified by frequency channel numbers (DLFREQ/ ULFREQ). two cells are configured as a DC-HSDPA group (ADD DUALCELLGRP). The two cells are specified by the parameters (FRSTLOCELL, SECONDLOCELL). need to turn on the switch CfgSwitch: CFG_HSDPA_DC_SWITCH and HspaPlusSwitch: DC_HSDPA. preferred feature should be set to DC_HSDPA through the parameter MIMO64QAMorDcHSDPASwitch. timing (Tcell) of the two cells needs to be set to the same value.

64QAM can be enabled in one or both cells in the DC-HSDPA cell group. DC-HSDPA and 64QAM can run at the same time. Continuous Packet Connectivity (CPC) function can be enabled in the DC-HSDPA cells but with the following limitations: CPC DTX is applicable to primary cell only because there will be no uplink control channel for the DC-HSDPA UE on secondary cell CPC HS-SCCH Less Operation is applicable to primary cell only and is not applicable to secondary cell. CPC DRX for DC-HSDPA UE on two carriers is similar to that of the single cell operation. In 3GPP R8-based HSPA+, it is an optional choice for the operators to select DC-HSDPA or MIMO. However, in later 3GPP standards the DC and MIMO could be deployed together.

4 Technical Description

WCDMA RAN DC-HSDPA

In RAN12.0, a cell can enable and run DC-HSDPA and MIMO functions at the same time but a single UE can use only one instead of both at the same time. In RAN12.0, the two cells in a DC-HSDPA cell group cannot support MIMO at the same time. Only one of them can support MIMO. In RAN13.0, a cell can run DC-HSDPA and MIMO functions at the same time and both of the two cells in a DC-HSDPA cell group can support MIMO at the same time. DC-HSDPA with 64QAM can reach a peak rate of 42 Mbit/s. You need licenses to enable the function of 42 Mbit/s in the downlink. TCP protocol is widely used in data transmission. As a file is being downloaded, the TCP acknowledgement is sent in uplink. The higher the rate of download is, the larger the bandwidth is required in uplink. If the download rate reaches up to 42Mbps, the rate of TCP acknowledgement in uplink is much higher than 384kbps which is the highest rate supported by DCH. HSUPA bearer is required to provide high bandwidth in uplink to transmit TCP acknowledgement in time. DL 42Mbps per user can be supported only in case of HSUPA being used.

4.3 State Transition

DC-HSDPA state transition is based on the strategy of SC-HSDPA state transition. In addition, it considers the primary cell during state transition. Assume that a DC-HSDPA UE preferentially selects F2 as the primary cell. Then, the strategy of DC-HSDPA state transition is as follows: To move from the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH state to the CELL_DCH state: 1. If the UE is allowed to access the F2 cell, the UE moves to the CELL_DCH state in this cell. 2. If the UE is not allowed to access the F2 cell, other DC-HSDPA cells in a DRD candidate cell set are attempted: 3. If the UE is allowed to access one of the candidate cells, the UE moves to the CELL_DCH state in this cell. 4. If the UE is not allowed to access any of the candidate cells, the UE performs the following operations:
If

the UL service was carried on the HSUPA channel, the UL falls back to DCH:

If the UE is allowed to access the cell, the UE moves to the CELL_DCH state. If the UE is not allowed to access the cell, the state transition fails and the UE stays in the original state.
If

the UL service was carried on the DCH, the state transition fails and the UE stays in the original state.

To move from the CELL_DCH state to the CELL_FACH state, the DC-HSDPA UE performs the state transition in the primary-carrier cell, like an SC-HSDPA UE. To move from the CELL_FACH state to the CELL_PCH state, the DC-HSDPA UE performs the same state transition as a SC-HSDPA UE because the DC-HSDPA UE in CELL_FACH state can use only one frequency.

4.4 Mobility Management

The introduction of DC-HSDPA has no impact on handover measurement triggering and handover decision. During handover execution, however, the RNC needs to decide whether to continue to use the DC-HSDPA technology after the handover if the target cell supports DC-HSDPA or whether to use a non-DC-HSDPA technology after the handover if the target cell does not support DC-HSDPA.

WCDMA RAN DC-HSDPA

4 Technical Description

This section describes only the mobility management of DC-HSDPA. For other information about handover, see the Handover Feature Parameter Description.

Measurement Control
The active set is maintained for primary-carrier only. In other words, for DC-HSDPA intra-frequency handover, only the signal quality of the primary-carrier cell and its neighboring cells needs to be measured. For DC-HSDPA inter-frequency handover, except for the signal quality of the primary-carrier cell and its neighboring cells, the signal quality of the secondary-carrier cell also needs to be measured as inter-frequency neighboring cell. If the UE has a dual-frequency receiver, it can perform inter-frequency measurement without starting the compressed mode if all of the following conditions are met: The CmpSwitch: CMP_UU_ADJACENT_FREQ_CM_SWITCH is on. The value of the IE "Adjacent frequency measurements without compressed mode" reported by the UE is TRUE. For the UE that supports dual-carrier HSDPA(DC-HSDPA):
If

the UE has a DC-HSDPA service, all the cells involved in inter-frequency measurement are at the same frequency as the supplementary carrier.

If

the UE does not have a DC-HSDPA service, all the cells involved in inter-frequency measurement are at the same frequency, with a 5 MHz spacing from the current cell, but within the same band as the current cell.

Handover Between DC-HSDPA Cells

When receiving a measurement report indicating that the signal quality of a DC-HSDPA cell is better than that of the serving cell (a DC-HSDPA cell), the RNC decides whether to perform a DC-HSDPA handover to the target cell: If the admission to the target cell is allowed and the corresponding configuration is successful, the RNC performs the handover. If the admission to the target cell is allowed but the corresponding configuration is unsuccessful, the RNC reconfigures the service on SC-HSDPA and then performs an SC-HSDPA handover. If the admission to the target cell is not allowed, the RNC reconfigures the service on DCH and performs a DCH handover:
If

the DCH handover is allowed, the RNC performs the handover. the RNC does not perform the handover.

Otherwise,

Handover from a DC-HSDPA Cell to a Non-DC-HSDPA Cell

When receiving a measurement report indicating that the signal quality of a non-DC-HSDPA cell is better than that of the serving cell (a DC-HSDPA cell), the RNC reconfigures the service to DCH or HSDPA and continue handover procedure.

Handover from a Non-DC-HSDPA Cell to a DC-HSDPA Cell

When receiving a measurement report indicating that the signal quality of a DC-HSDPA cell is better than that of the serving cell (a non-HSDPA cell), the RNC performs a handover after which the HSPA+ technologies supported by both the source cell and the target cell are used in the target cell. If such HSPA+ technologies are ranked lower than some HSPA+ technologies supported by both the target cell and the UE, the ChannelRetryHoTimerLen timer is started after the handover. When the timer expires, the RNC tries to reconfigure the traffic radio bearer (TRB) and signaling radio bearer (SRB) to enable them to support the higher-ranked HSPA+ technologies.

4.5 Load Control

4.5.1 RAB DRD
During RB setup or state transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH, the RNC makes DRDs to select a DC-HSDPA cell group and then select a primary-carrier cell for the UE. For details of DRD, see Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.

DRD Procedure
The procedure is as follows: 1. The RNC selects a set of candidate cells that meet the DRD quality conditions. For details, see the Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description. 2. The RNC selects DC-HSDPA cell group according to the HSPA+ technological satisfaction. The RNC selects a cell with the highest priority as the target cell according to the HSPA+ technological satisfaction. Based on this cell, the RNC searches for the corresponding DC-HSPA cell group and takes this group as the DC-HSPA cell group, and perform step 4. If there are multiple DC-HSPA cell groups with the same HSPA+ technological satisfaction, the RNC performs step 3. 3. The RNC select a DC-HSDPA cell group as follows: If the parameter ServiceDiffDrdSwitch is on, the RNC selects a group with the highest service priority. For details, see section "Cell Group Selection Based on Service Priorities." If there are multiple DC-HSDPA cell groups with the same highest service priority, the RNC selects a group based on DL load balancing between these groups. 4. the RNC selects an primary-carrier cell from the DC-HSDPA cell group as follows: The RNC selects an primary-carrier according to HSPA+ technological satisfaction, cell service priority. If all the HSPA+ technological satisfaction, cell service priority of the two cell are the same. The RNC performs the following step: a) If the ULLdbDRDSwitchDcHSDPA switch is turned on, the RNC selects a primary-carrier cell based on UL load balancing between the two cells. For details, see section "Cell Selection Based on UL Loads." b) If the ULLdbDRDSwitchDcHSDPA switch is turned off, the RNC selects the cell randomly. 5. If the directed retry fails, the RNC repeats the RAB DRD procedure until all the candidate cell groups are tried.

Cell Group Selection Based on Service Priorities

If different DC-HSDPA cell groups support the same HSPA+ technologies, these groups are ranked on the basis of their service priorities. The service priority of a DC-HSDPA cell group is determined by the highest service priority of the two cells in the group. Table 4-1 lists the reference service priorities for different service bearers.

Note: The HSDPA service priority is used first for the ranking. If the HSDPA service priority is not enough for the ranking, the HSUPA service priority is then used.

Cell Selection Based on UL Loads

If the ULLdbDRDSwitchDcHSDPA switch is turned on, the RNC determines the primary-carrier cell based on UL load balancing between the two cells. If the current serving cell is not in the target DC-HSDPA cell group, the RNC select a primary cell with lower uplink load. Otherwise the RNC checks whether the remaining UL load resource of the serving cell is lower than or equal to the value of ULLdbDRDLoadRemainThdDCHSDPA: If the remaining UL load is larger than the threshold, the RNC selects the serving cell as the primary-carrier cell because its UL load is lower. If the remaining UL load is less than the threshold, the RNC calculates the difference between the UL load margin of the serving cell and that of the target cell. Then,
If

the difference is greater than the value of ULLdbDRDOffsetDcHSDPA, the RNC selects the target cell as the primary-carrier cell because its UL load is lower. the RNC selects the serving cell as the primary-carrier cell.

Otherwise,

4.5.2 Call Admission Control

Overview
In terms of the Call Admission Control (CAC) based on the code resource, CE resource, or Iub resource, DC-HSDPA CAC is not changed, compared with SC-HSDPA CAC. In terms of the CAC based on the DL power or equivalent number of users (ENU), DC-HSDPA CAC is changed, that is, the resources of the DC-HSDPA cell group need to be considered.

CAC Based on the DL Power

Figure 4-1 takes the DL power as an example to show the distribution of the resources of the two cells, which form a DC-HSDPA cell group.

GBPDC-H: DL power required by the HS-PDSCHs to provide GBRs for the DC-HSDPA UEs in the DC-HSDPA cell group. For a DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs the CAC based on the total DL power margin of the DC-HSDPA cell group because the UE can use the DL power margin of any of the two cells after the admission. For a non-DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs the CAC based on the total DL power of the serving cell minus the DL power used for the existing non-DC-HSDPA UEs in this cell. If the admission is successful, the RNC continues to perform the CAC based on the total DL power margin of the DC-HSDPA cell group.

CAC Based on the ENU

The CAC based on the ENU is similar to the CAC based on the DL power. For a DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs the CAC based on the total ENU of the DC-HSDPA cell group. For a non-DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs the CAC first based on the ENU of the serving cell. If the admission is successful, the RNC continues to perform the CAC based on the ENU of the DC-HSDPA cell group.

CAC Based on the Number of HSDPA Users

The HSDPA services have to undergo admission decision based on the number of HSDPA users. The DC-HSDPA costs one HSDPA license user in only primary cell.

4.5.3 Queuing and Premption

The UE requesting DC-HSDPA services will be queued in the selected primary cell. The queuing principle is the same as that described in Load Control Feature Parameter Description.

4 Technical Description

For DC-HSDPA services, the RNC selects the primary cell in the DC-HSDPA cell group to perform preemption.

4.5.4 Load Reshuffling and Overload Control

The power of the cell group may trigger basic congestion and overload. If the load of non-HSPA power and GBP in the two cells is higher than or equal to the sum of the DL LDR/overload trigger threshold of the two cells, the cell group is in basic congestion state. If the cell group is in the basic congestion or overload state, both cells are in the basic congestion or overload state. The actions to relieve congestion or overload are performed in each cell separately. The actions to relieve basic congestion are inter-frequency and inter-RAT handover. The actions to relieve overload are the same as that of RAN11.0.

4.6 Scheduling
The NodeB determine the queuing of this UE and other UEs in one cell. The method of DC-HSDPA scheduling is similar to that of SC-HSDPA scheduling. For details, see the HSDPA Feature Parameter Description. This section describes only the difference between the two scheduling methods. The calculation of the scheduling priority of a DC-HSDPA queue needs to consider the different CQIs and Uu rates of the two carriers. In the proportional fair (PF) algorithm and enhanced proportional fair (EPF) algorithm, R/r used for DC-HSDPA is different from that used for SC-HSDPA: For SC-HSDPA, R represents the throughput corresponding to the CQI reported by the UE for this carrier, and r represents the throughput currently achieved by the UE. A greater R/r value indicates a higher scheduling priority. For DC-HSDPA, R represents the throughput corresponding to the CQI reported by the UE for this carrier, and r represents the total throughput currently achieved by the UE on the two carriers.
